My approach is to first identify any issues the student has via an assessment. From this I can develop a strategy for the student to understand maths more easily, with which they can take on board to increase in confidence, knowledge and ability. The student will begin to find maths much more easy than they had previously thought. The normal pattern is that the student has failed by using school techniques, so repeating more of the same won't work! My methods are logical, easy and intuitive.
Did you know? Only 57% of students pass GCSE. And half of them have private tuition? So your chances of passing without are 1 in 4.
A private tutor for 15 years, I have a lot of experience with students who have lost their confidence, don't understand what their teaching is saying anymore and feel lost. I take a patient and more advanced approach which has led to a 95% success rate amongst my students and 100% in 2013. Tutoring maths is my passion and it still gives me a buzz when a penny drops for a student. One of the joys of my method is that not only do you become brilliant at maths, doing things that are far beyond the abilities expected, but you lose your feeling of shame and reclaim your self-respect. Parents recommend me often and I can provide up to ten separate glowing references.
I offer a free 20 minute sample lesson. We can meet and I can give you an idea of how I teach and whether you feel your son or daughter (or yourself!) will progress.
15 years as a private tutor of all ages from 10 upwards and 2 years in secondary schools in Lincolnshire. I've tutored in Lincoln since 2005, with some work in London, online (I currently have a student in Australia!) and secondary schools in Lincoln and Cumbria. I have also published many books to positive reviews.
Some of the 100s of students I have taught include: the daughter of 'Doctor Who', Peter Capaldi; the son of the Vice-President of Syria; and the son of Tony Cunningham, ex-Man City, Newcastle and Lincoln footballer.
